Tourist resorts need tourists .............obviously.
But non tourist places are not really hurting. My own little town is normal and there are new restaurants opening and new buildings going up. Market is really busy around 5-6 pm with lots of vendors etc, as per normal. New post office being built, new hotels and what looks like a new gas station being built.

If the Scots want independence why not ? But don't ask them because they might fluff it again.
You have to put it to the English. Do you think Scotland should be independent ...yes or no ?
Problem sorted and Scotland becomes independent. Where's the problem ?
The only difficulty arises if Scotland joins the EU as an independent nation.
That would , in the end lead to a hard border between Scotland and the rest of the British Isles.
If everyone is o.k. with that , then let it happen.

I went to Hua Hin once yonks ago with a very hot company secretary for a very dirty weekend.
I am fair skinned so sat under a thin umbrella in a thin shirt with a hat on whilst we we were on the beech for an hour.
I got lobstered and she was as brown as burnt toast. Ruined weekend
Never been back or forgiven the place since.

Yep, buy a ticket with a bankrupt airline and when they cancel your flight again , whistle dixie trying to get your cash back.
Wouldn't trust them with a barge pole.
The Pattaya News notes that many customers are still waiting for ticket refunds and many comment on a regular basis on our social media channels.

What's the level of completion from Bangkok to Nong Khai?
Last year , along route 21 heading north there were lots of signs put up along the side of the road saying a fast train would be coming. They got flyblown, fell down and were finally removed.

Hardly new. First tried it a couple of years ago.
I don't like beer much but found it better than the new Leo which used to be ok until they altered it.
Only beer I ever liked here was Amarit but it disappeared. Beer Lao also not bad.

3 - As the 400K should be seasoned for at least 2 months when applying for the 1-year extension of stay based on your Non Imm O Visa for reason of marriage, you need to have the funds on your personal thai bank-account (a joint one with your wife is not accepted) already a couple of days BEFORE applying for the 60-day extension of stay.
When I asked at my local immigration , I was told that the 60 day extension to visit wife would begin from the day of application not from 27th September ( end of amnesty )
This was clearly wrong and I informed the officer that the official line is that the 60 day extension to visit wife should begin at the end of the amnesty ( thus giving us more time to get things in order and avoiding a last minute crowd ) He would have none of it and repeated....begins on day of application.
So..............just 1 hour ago I telephoned the Immigration hotline ( 1178 ) and explained what I had been told at my local office. The guy I spoke to was very helpful and apologized about the misinformation. He then assured me the extension would begin on the 27th , at the end of the current amnesty. He would guarantee it. I then asked him if he would mind contacting my local office to inform them of the fact , since they appeared to be unaware of it. He promised he would send them an email to inform them of official policy.
Lets hope he does as it will allow some people a little more time for seasoning the 400,000.

I'd say a lot of other things but best not to in print.

So no, sorry to correct you, but 'gop' is not the Thai word for frog, its the Thai word for only one kind of frog........the kind they like to put on the BBQ (although they do tend to eat all of them around here, its just the 'gop' is the biggest).
Totally agree. Just wish all the language books and Google translate etc pointed this out so our wives don't needlessly suffer.

We all know the word for frog ..................gop.
But whenever I see one and say to the wife " Look....a gop " She never agrees that it is a frog.
They have so many words for frogs , depending on size , color , habitat , hairstyle and political views that I can honestly say that in all my time here I have never seen a common bona fide frog.

You could consider dried ones which they sell at Chatuchak market. Look nice and don't need water.
We have had several types in our pond ( half an ong ) but they tended to run riot after a while with the roots spreading out too much and dirtying the water.

In an independent survey conducted by myself with many Thai acquaintances it was discovered that.
1) 100% percent believed the Thai army possessed weapons of war.
2) 95% believed that the army will at some stage use the said weapons on Thai citizens again in the future if those citizens continue to press for real democracy
3) 100 % believed the current government would continue to cling to power for the foreseeable future.

Many farang must leave their families, friends and Thailand
in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
No , not really. Extensions are not the correct way to go if you intend to live here full time.
The correct visa to apply for is residency.
https://immigrationbangkok.com/thai-permanent-residence-visa/
People extending year in year out are just the same as visa runners. No better or worse. Using a loophole in the law for convenience.
Personally , that doesn't bother me but the Thai Visa holier than thou schadenfreude brigade just love to see others not doing as they do suffer . What possible pleasure they derive from this I cannot imagine. Very sad.
